Dear Coconino Horse Trials Competitors and Participants,
At Coconino Horse Trials, the welfare of our horses and participants is our primary concern. We are closely monitoring the nearby forest fires and would like to provide an update on the current situation.
Please be assured that there is no fire threat to our facility, and we are not impacted by the arrival of evacuated animals. While air quality is currently fluctuating, we are working diligently to gather the most accurate information to guide our decisions.
At this time, we remain optimistic about conditions for the upcoming weekend. However, we are also preparing potential schedule adjustments throughout the following week to accommodate air quality concerns and ensure everyone can compete safely.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Best regards, Alice Sarno & the Coconino Team 6/30/2026

Our sport is dependent of volunteers, so take a look and see if there is a time when you will be able to lend a hand. We will have a Volunteer Area under the grandstands by the stairway where you can sign up, get more information and find volunteer t-shirts. You can also sign up directly at the USEA Volunteer Incentive Program site. Or contact Mary Hendricks OR Meghan Backs and let us know what times you are available and what you would like to do. If you can't stay for long, an hour or two relief for another volunteer is welcome. We really appreciate your help!!!!
